Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Jesuits, Vol. 3 of 3: From the Foundation of Their Society to Its Suppression by Pope Clement XIV,; Their Missions Throughout the World; Their Educational System and Literature; With Their Revival and Present State In his fourth chapter, Mariana details numerous troubles and contentions amongst the members, owing to the youthful petulance and ignorance of the superiors. In the method of tuition he finds notable defects: in fact, he says the thing is undeniable that less Latin was then known in Spain than fifty years before; and that one of the principal causes of the calamity was the fact that the Company had the charge of education. The want of perseverance in any given method was the source of the deficiency. There were as many methods as there were masters: all was experiment, and never a system. What was asserted by one was contradicted by another: what was announced by one as evident, another pronounced false - so that the doctrine of the Jesuits was similar to Penelope´s web, woven by day, and unravelled by night. As might be expected, numerous abuses attended the increase of the lay-brotherhood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
